Statistics for Business and Economics enables readers to conduct serious analysis of applied problems rather than running simple “canned” applications. This text is also at a mathematically higher level than most business statistics texts and provides readers with the knowledge they need to become stronger analysts for future managerial positions.

Applied Statistics in Business and Economics provides real meaning to the use of statistics in the real world by using real business situations and real data while appealing students to know the why, rather than just the how. The emphasis of the 6th edition remains the same; thinking about data, choosing appropriate analytic tools, using computers effectively, and recognizing limitations of statistics.
